I would like to try this, but I have a glass cook top, and the cast iron dutch ovens are not good on it. I'd like to cook in the oven instead. What temp should I use, and would the time be about the same? Thanks!

I tried it in the crock pot too and my kids thought it was way too dry. What a waste of a good piece of meat and money. Best to cook it the traditional way.wendy

Very Very good recipe. My family loves the tender meat and yummy gravy. I also tried baking it in the oven at 325F for the same amount of time and it turned out great.
